Alsek 22°F Quilt

I replaced my 30 degree EE Revelation (22 oz) with a Katabatic Alsek 22 degree (25 oz) because I would get cold in the EE when the temperature dropped below 40. Manufacturers use different temperature ratings (comfort vs minimum) to rate a quilt, so keep that in mind. I noticed a huge difference in quality and warmth in the Katabatic. Highly recommended Katabatic over the EE, but you're not really saving much in weight, so it might be best to keep what you've got.

Katabatic is far and away the better product, even ignoring EE's racist bullshit.

Definitely Katabatic. I'd consider their Flex series too if budget is more important.

Katabatic makes great quilts— you may want to consider the Alsek over the flex given your tendency to have cold legs and feet as it has a foot box! You could also look into the ultralight Nemo pads. And for shoulder season trips you could always add a GG thinlight foam pad!

That's a lot of money to save 2.5 ounces. If you have a high budget for this, look at the full range of 950 fp down quilts. Also consider whether a 30F quilt would be warm enough in the conditions in which you would use it.

If you post a complete lighterpack of your setup and request a shakedown, I bet some more affordable ways to save 2.5 ounces can be found.

Totally agree with continuing to reduce your base weight. I'm in the same age range as you are and it has really helped me. But I don't think your loadout is tuned enough yet to justify major upgrades to the quilt for minor benefits. Post that lighterpack and shakedown.

There just isn't that much difference between quilts using the same fill power of down and similar fabric weights. It's a very mature technology. You either buy something with a thinner, wispier outer fabric, or a signficantly high fill power of down, or a higher limiting temperature rating. Those are the only options to reduce weight of a quilt.

EE quilts are straight up poorly designed too. Their baffles shift down to the sides and EE was a well-documented down under-filler before they finally owned up to it. Between the two, Katabatic is a far better buy.

I've gotta disagree about the price, a 26 comfort rated bag for 1.5 lbs is kind of wild, at those specs you're competitive with cottage quilt manufacturers that would cost significantly more. I'm actually kind of suspicious about the temp rating for this bag when you compare it to something like the Katabatic Alsek, which has a similar temp rating but doesn't weigh that much less.
